Just got the new DVC video package. It is awsome! It has some great special features and some hidden mickeys in the menus with tips when you click on them. It was also written for Samantha Brown. It is so her style! I had heard that DVC trioed to get her for the promotion video and that she was TOO MUCH MONEY to use in the promotion! The girl that they got is still very good, but there is just this Love/Hate thing with Samantha. Want her job...so badly! The presentation of the small book is a pop-up! Very good job DVC!:hippie:

Samantha Brown definitely would have done a great job. I think the girl who does it now is fine though.

Samantha is one of my favorites! She does a whole bunch of clips on tv when you sail on Princess, they run on the room tv during parts of the day.

We Love Samantha Brown! Some say she is too perky, but her style is unique and she would have done a great job.

We love Samantha Brown too! Since she has done shows on most of the Disney resorts and parks, I have often wondered if we would ever see her doing something featuring DVC - guess not!

Forgot to say, my only complaint about SB was that she said the 1 BR at VWL had a queen size bed. YIKES!!

But that is the only fault with her that I can find!

She has bad hair and her jokes are way too corny. Oh wait, perfect for Disney! :rotfl:

Being from Australia, we only just started getting some of the Samantha Brown "Best Hotel" shows and we love her. Her style is just great. I haven't come across a more entertaining presenter.

Everytime I am flipping through the channels and see Sam, my DF is always quick to say "There's your girlfriend baby." Hey, she's hot:laughing: But I agree, she would have done a great job with a DVC promo video....

I would really like to see her to some new or updated shows involving the DVC resorts for the Travel Channel!

I don't like her that much. She is tolerable but gets on my nerves quickly. I think it may be extreme jealousy though:confused3 I would LOVE to have her job :love:

I have not seen anything new from her in a few years now except for the commercials she does for a local manafacturer of replacement windows. I had to do a double take the first few times I saw these commercials thinking "Why would she be doing local commercials"..smjj

I am not sure they are a local window company because I have seen her in window commercials here in RI....that is unless she's doing windows all over the country!

Champion Windows is a national brand...those commercials are everywhere. They are based out of Toledo.

Not sure if she's got anything new on TV right now. She was on the WDW Christmas Parade show last year.

Samantha Brown's newest travel series "Passport to Latin America" just finished showing on the Travel Channel. She is scheduled to do a "Passport to Asia" series next.

Here in SoCal, Samantha Brown is on all the time...after she went to Europe, she went on her first cruise and then as Debby7 says, Passport to Latin America and to Asia next. I have not seen her in any other commercials other then her travel shows. Did she do a Disney cruise segment when she did "Disney"?

She also did her second cruise on Freedom of the Seas.

I agree, she does need to travel more!

SB has my dream job. Where do they advertise for jobs like that anyway, I don't remember seeing any ads in the paper for a perky travel channel host. If I had I certainly would have applied - oh well, the job I have affords me the opportunity to go to the places she has on her shows.

It's funny, in our area she does appliance commercials and I always think, "That's the Disney girl!"

The commercials are new since we saw her on the Travel Channel, wonder what's up with that?

I like Samantha, But I actually like Casey Better. I don't think this is a new DVC. It is the one that was released last spring. Same as the old one with an AKL tag on it.

Was it Samantha Brown you saw? She isn't the Disney girl, that Samantha Brown-wanna be Casey is!:thumbsup2 :lmao:

(Unless you mean Disney girl from the Travel Channel)

It is so her style! I had heard that DVC trioed to get her for the promotion video and that she was TOO MUCH MONEY to use in the promotion!

I'd be surprised if that story were true. IMO, it would be a bit of an ethical breach for her to appear in publicity materials for a Disney entity. Other travel destinations--particularly theme parks--would have reason to question her objectivity knowing that she was taking money from Disney. That could hurt her both personally, and damage The Travel Channel, by limiting the number of organizations willing to do business with them.

Too expensive for DVC? There is a Windows and Sun Room company named Champion here in Indiana that uses her for all of their commercials. Wonder how much she charges or does it depend on the business? :confused3
